mission frames(old t-pro, t-raptor) are just weaker copies, like the da bomb
onza are very sucessful, and havent been doing trials that long either
they did have a terrible star though.

hahaha that would be massive!!! good for wheelies I suppose but no point in inventing a usless tire such as that,....
toss is on the 'underwater hairdryer' pile....
why would it be good for wheelies lol???
john
-
no they don't, because they would be too heavy, they would fold too easy, they wouldn't fit in many, if any frames, and they aren't needed.

I tend to have the opinion that they are both as good or BAD as each other.

Why the hell aren't there more foam pits in England? That's rediculous, they're not amazingly hard to construct safely, so how come there's only one? I think they're really useful, I'm really surprised.
not hard to construct safely, but hard to use safely.
rampworx got rid of it because of growing numbers of insurance claims against them.
ape, the park they sold it to, are also getting rid of it now.

chester - boneyard (spawned Owain Clegg, Ali Whitton and John Taylor)
darwen - rhythm (amazing small park, perfect ramps)
preston - grind (famously, the sketchiest park in the uk)
stockport - bones (really good park, 2 floors, vert, nice bowl)

Yeah as above fater i had removed the paint i then needed to removed layer of alumium oxided with the wire brush. I went over the whole bike.
I painted the whole frame with the antomoticve nitromorse and then gaian after 5 mins and then 10 mine and then 30 mins. I then whats as it fized and all the paint was bubling off. I left it for and hour after adding one really thick coat.
After that i then washed the frame down with my garden hose. Expet i use it on the hot tapt. it makes the nitromorse react and i blasetd the paint off and the chemical.
Then i did the brushiong and then next day i did the emery with 600 and did it fry and wet.
I then polished with a soft cloth and got a drill buffing attchemnt that i use to buff to a mirros finish.
Im now gonna have it anodized sliver i thibnk as i hate polishing up the finger pritns.
DJ will post pics soon.
just pointing out petes great spelling.

you just pissed me right off you f**king willy. sorry but I ain't just gonna sit here when you have a go at me for no reason.
did I skit him or say anything about him??? NO
shut the f**k up.
wanna know why I asked???
old skool boon

which gives the indication he is banned.
this is why I asked. I wasn't a dick about it. DON'T be a wanker and start abusing me for that, cos it is so annoying.
now you understand why, you will leave it at that.
